Support for non generic types in value extraction

We alleviated this restriction by introducing a new type attribute to the ExtractedValue annotation allowing to define the type of the extracted value even in the absence of a type argument providing the information.

Getting 6.0.0.Beta2

To get the release with Maven, Gradle etc. use the GAV coordinates org.hibernate.validator:{hibernate-validator|hibernate-validator-cdi|hibernate-validator-annotation-processor}:6.0.0.Beta2. Note that the group id has changed from org.hibernate (Hibernate Validator 5 and earlier) to org.hibernate.validator (from Hibernate Validator 6 onwards).

Alternatively, a distribution bundle containing all the bits is provided on SourceForge (TAR.GZ, ZIP).

What’s next?

Bean Validation 2.0 is currently in the Public Review phase, the Public Review Ballot will take place at the beginning of June.
The Proposed Final Draft is planned to be released shortly thereafter, so if you spot any remaining issues or shortcomings in the spec draft, please let us know as soon as possible.

Hibernate Validator 6 is still under active development. We’ll keep you posted with our progress.
